1000 Friends
of Minnesota
Vision: 1000 Friends of Minnesota envisions a sustainable
landscape where finite natural resources are protected,
cities are vital and livable, and all citizens have
access to clean air, water and soil, as well as food,
jobs and housing. This landscape is made up of compact,
diverse, pedestrian-oriented cities and healthy,
productive farms and forest. The cities do not sprawl
into the countryside but are concentrated around existing
infrastructure and offer transportation alternatives to
the automobile. Planning and zoning is done on the local
level and under the umbrella of a statewide policy
framework with common goals that have been developed by
the people of Minnesota.

A Special Site with a
connection to the history of Marine on St. Croix:

*The Digital Art of Stuart Armstronghttp://www.radix.net/~sarmstrong/
Stuart Armstrong came across our website and sent us the
following email from Maryland along with an electonic copy of a
1935 map of Marine which we will soon put on the website.

"Attached is a jpeg of a
map done in 1935 by my father and his sisters.
It was done during the depression and sold to the locals as a way
to
make a little money. My father's family stayed in Marine on St.
Croix
during the summer. Drawn at the top and bottom are town scenes
such as
the Walker Judd and Veazie sawmill, the Lightner house (built
1898), St.
Croix hotel (1890) and scenes from the main street. Names of home
owners (the ones who bought maps I think) are added such as
Olson,
Keuffner, O'Brien, Shaw, Wheelock, etc. are added. The map was
done
with a crow quill pen, so the line weights are very fine, and
even with
the size of the file I'm sending a good deal is lost. The writing
verges on the microscopic. The art was reproduced in black and
white
and then hand colored. The drawing is probably extremely accurate
and
is a unique document. I thought that you might be interested. I
have a
larger file of it, and if anyone is interested, my father is
still alive
and might have some comments on the map."

And from a 2nd email:

"Most of the names on the
map are of summer people. My father does
remember the Dunns. He used to play on their lawn. I think that I
will
write up my father's comments on the map and pass them on to you.
That
in turn may suggest some questions that you would want to ask
him. He
is amenable to questions.

"He did a few figures on the map, but my aunts did most of
it. I will
speak with one of them as well."
